In reply to Martin McKenna - Rockfax:
Episode 1 was frightening. It exposed the recklessness of the Saudi state and of wealthy Saudi individuals in their obsessive hatred of Shias, which makes the Palestine-Israel conflict look like a small running sore by comparison.
Episode 2 was about the scale of the corruption and how it all began. My thoughts turned frequently to Private Eye as I have often wondered how quietly influential that magazine is in drawing attention to scandal. Towards the end the programme talked about the fabulous wealth of Mohammed bin Salman and their coverage could almost have been lifted straight from a paragraph on MbS in the current edition of Private Eye. Or vice-versa perhaps.
